Kookmin University student who made a sculpture of Pieta with his eyes, revealed to be majoring in science and engineering / Kang Min-soo (18, School of Software)
- 24.12.04 / 이정민
On Wednesday, November 27 and Thursday, November 28, when heavy snow fell across the country, a student at Kookmin University (President JEONG, SEUNG RYUL) who created a snowman reminiscent of the Western art piece Pietà and gained attention on social media was revealed to be majoring in science and engineering, which is a hot topic.
The “Pieta Snowman” created by Kookmin University's Kang Min-soo in front of the College of Arts attracted attention because it has a similar shape to Michelangelo's masterpiece “Pieta,” which is installed in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, Italy. This student created not only “Pieta” but also “Venus de Milo” on the campus of Kookmin University.
Kang Min-soo, a student of the Department of Software Engineering at Kookmin University, who created the work, is a pure science and engineering student who has not majored in the arts. “I have never studied art professionally since I was a child, but I was very interested in design, so I took classes like 'Understanding Design' at the College of Art and Design,” said Kang. ”When I saw the heavy snowfall, I thought I should make an artwork that I have always been interested in using snow on campus.”
He also expressed his ambition to start a business that combines his major in software and the art field. “My goal is to create a business item that combines technology and art, such as jewelry design, by using my artistic sense based on my major in software,” said Kang Min-soo.
Meanwhile, the work created by Kang Min-soo has received attention not only in domestic social media but also in overseas media. Vietnamese magazine Hoa Học Trò also praised Kang Min-soo's work, saying, “I was amazed by the sophistication and detail.”
